Chapter 314 AMS Project
Ding Zhaozhong is no stranger to Chinese people, but most people probably only know that he is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. At most, they know a little bit about whether one of the three Ding brothers is named Ding Zhaoguo or the gossip of the Ding Zhao clan. As for him,
It’s probably hard to tell what kind of research they do.∑,
Ting Zhaozhong was born in Ann Arbor, USA in 1936, and later returned to Taiwan with his parents to study. During his undergraduate degree at Cheng Kung University, he did not major in physics, but in engineering machinery! By the way, he is one of the founders of our online literary field.
The ruffian Cai is also a student of this school. He studies water conservancy engineering.
Later, he went to the University of Michigan in the United States for further studies, receiving bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physics, and a doctorate in physics. After graduating from university, he received funding to work at the ern. At that time, the ern had just been established. Maybe Ding Zhaozhong had even met Lu Qiujian.
Where is Master Heisenberg!
After that, he taught at Columbia University for a period of time, and was invited to the Deutsche Electron Synchrotron Research Center (DESY) in Hamburg. From then on, he officially entered the field of particle physics research and showed superhuman talents;
Within two years, he conquered all his colleagues and became the head of the German Electron Synchrotron Group; it was here that his experimental method for discovering the J particle was successful.
Then he traveled around the world, leaving his presence in various core fields of physics such as MIT, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the American Physical Society; in 1974, he discovered a long-term
The discovery of a neutral particle with a long life and named it j-particle proved that the then popular theory of three quarks was wrong and promoted the long-term development of physics.
Professor Ding Zhaozhong also won the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics with Professor Richter of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center for this achievement. From the above information, it can be seen that high-end equipment is almost indispensable if you want to achieve success in the physics field.
Few! So far, China has
The reason why no one has won the Nobel Prize is not some illusory institutional problem (the Red Empire was no less successful at the time). It is a problem of investment! If China had completed the construction of a world-class accelerator soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these dozens of
There will definitely be many Nobel Prize winners in the next year!
Soon after winning the award, he introduced and invited Chinese physicists to visit China, and organized Chinese physicists to work and study in his laboratory to experience the world-class academic atmosphere, and made outstanding contributions to the development of physics in China.
With in-depth research on dark matter, antimatter and other issues, he discovered that some existing detection methods, such as large collider, high-altitude balloons, underwater exploration, etc., all have their own limitations and do not seem to be able to meet the needs of dark matter exploration.
So he found another way and came up with a very bold and thorough idea, which was to build the actual danger room directly into space, collect the most realistic data and information from space, and transmit it back to the ground for analysis. So there was
ams alpha magnetic spectrometer.
In 1998, he began to fully take over the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer project of ern. AMS is a precision particle detection device placed in space. It is currently the most sensitive, complex and expensive dark matter detection equipment; it is planned to consist of 16
It is completed through cooperation with several countries, and the manufacturing cost is estimated to be US$2.1 billion.
Of course, China will not miss this opportunity. A total of scientific research teams from eight units including the Institute of High Energy, Qilu University, and Shanghai Jiaotong University participated in this great project. They worked on the magnet system, the core component of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, and He made decisive contributions to the magnetic spectrometer calorimeter structure, heat dissipation system, magnetic spectrometer experimental system, antimatter detection system and ground data processing system.
Baodao also has scientists involved, and the Sun Yat-sen Academy of Sciences has designed an electronic control system for the project that runs 10 times faster than NASA's current system.
However, it is regrettable that due to the accident of the US spacecraft Columbia in 2003, the US government readjusted its aerospace development plan, grounded all space shuttles, and the plan to enter space with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer was also canceled. Therefore, Professor Ding Zhaozhong has recently His main job is to lobby the U.S. House and Senate to restart the spacecraft launch plan.
This is for this reason. So after Lu Qiujian contacted him early, he did not wait for the opportunity to communicate until today. When they met, the first thing Lu Qiujian noticed was his distinctive eyebrows and eyes; Professor Ding is nearly 70 years old, but he does seem to be in good spirits, but there is a trace of worry that cannot be concealed between his eyebrows. Perhaps he is worried about the future of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer!
"Hello, Professor Ding, I'm really sorry that I came to bother you during your busy schedule!" Lu Qiujian saw him stand up from his chair and quickly stepped forward to shake hands and greet him.
"I've been busy with things that are completely unnecessary but I have to be busy with. I can't say that I'm not intrusive!" Perhaps it was because the recent lobbying was not going well. Ding Zhaozhong couldn't help but complain, before Lu Qiujian could say anything. In agreement, he shifted the topic to dark matter, "Instead of meeting with those politicians, it is better to exchange the latest research results with colleagues. I have read a series of your recent articles on dark matter, and they are very insightful!"
"I believe that after the backlash from Columbia gradually dissipates, the United States will still approve your plan!" Lu Qiujian comforted him. In fact, the United States approved his application three years later, and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer was transported by Endeavor. To the International Space Station, "Because 'the International Space Station loses its meaning without science'!"
"Huh?" Ding Zhaozhong's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Qiujian's words, "What you said is very good! It's very inflammatory and persuasive. If you don't mind, I want to use it in my speech!" Professor Ding Zhaozhong also had some skills in speaking, and he immediately recognized the extraordinary meaning of Lu Qiujian's words.
This was originally what you said in your speech. Lu Qiujian was a little embarrassed, "You can use it, if you can play even a small role as a quark, I will feel very honored!"
"The universe is the vastest laboratory. The energy of cosmic rays is higher than any accelerator. The existence of the International Space Station provides extremely convenient conditions for the exploration of dark matter. Although it is a pity what happened to Columbia, if we gave up all our efforts because of an accident, Isn’t the space exploration plan a waste of food?” Those words just now won Ding Zhaozhong’s favor, and he soon chatted with Lu Qiujian about his plans!
